Mr F. J. Ryder, the member in question, had received from several other members promises of hearty support for his proposal, but the chairman (Sir James Wilson, l intimated that he had been advised that the board had no power under the existing Act to give effect to the motion that had been tabled, so that the matter was not brought to a definite issue.

A. Scott. J. M. Craig, T. Giles, J. P. Colwill and A. H. Thomson. The question of making arrangements with two well-known American chiropractic professors, who are likely to visit New Zealand, for a short post graduate course at Wellington in the later developments of chiropractic technique was held over for further consideration. It was decided that the next conference should be held in Wellington.
